Lecture éditoriale
The estate's history dates Sir William Martyn's hall to 1485. It also records an earlier manor mentioned in Domesday Book and later medieval ownership changes. Those earlier references concern the estate's history and should not be treated as dates for the hall now standing.
The current visitor offer combines the Tudor manor with formal gardens. The house, the earlier manorial site and the garden's successive developments are related but distinct subjects. A single broad date cannot explain the age of every part of the ensemble.
Our editorial reading: use the hall as a starting point for tracing the transition from an older manorial holding to a substantial late-medieval residence. Then consider how later landscape design changed the setting in which the house is experienced.
